Summary: Facing problems when importing VOB video files into Adobe After Effects for further editing? If so, follow the easy workaround here.
Adobe After Effects with stunning features is popular video editing software for us. The point here, sometimes, you will find it's a painful experience when importing VOB into After Effects. And there are some frequently asked question quoted as below.
Q1: I had ad DVD. So far I have taken the video folder off the DVD and there is a .VOB file there. However I can’t seem to import these VOB to After Effects ... is there a lossless format which I could transcode the VOB file into?
Q2: I'm trying to get a DVD into After Effects. While, with a free DVD software, I've managed to get the .vob files, but now how do I get VOB files into After Effects without losing much quality?
To resolve the problem I’d searched further and widely in Google. As some guys suggest, you can try changing the file type from .vob to .mpg or .avi, depending on your PC sometimes this works. Well, if you want an effective and reliable way to import VOB to After Effects, get a VOB converter and transcode .vob files to MPEG-2, which will save you both time and trouble, and all you need is to drag the result videos for prompt editing.
Download and use Brorsoft Video Converter, which is able to resolve your trouble effortlessly. This video app can help you convert VOB into a different format (e.g. avi, .mpg) with least quality loss. You should then be able to import the new file into After Effects with smooth editing without any trouble. With it, you can also effortlessly transcode VOB to MPG for Adobe Premiere/Sony Vegas, DNxHD for Avid MC, WMV for Windows Movie Maker, etc. If you're using a Mac, simply get the equivalent Brorsoft Video Converter for Mac to encode VOB to After Effects on Mac OS X(Mavericks 10.9).
